No doubt last night’s purge reflects racism and misogyny. But those wrongs are just a cover for the far more serious evils and dangers that exist here.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

My mom helped run a Social Security field office for most of my childhood. The population that these locations serve is overwhelmingly disabled, elderly, poor or some combination thereof. That’s who they’re looking to deny services and resources.

Elon Musk is just a billionaire cosplaying as a genius. Overpromises, underdelivers, and plays the victim when called out. At this point, his biggest innovation is dodging accountability.

Did you speak with Trump’s former AG Bill Barr? His former NSA John Bolton? His former CIA Director Gina Haspel? Patel’s former boss at the NSC, Fiona Hill? All of them worked with him and strongly oppose his nomination because he’s dangerous and unqualified.
